Mag-log in"I can't not interfere when someone tries to kill in broad daylight."Noah did not answer Veronica's question. His tone remained calm and detached.Seeing Winnie still frozen in place, he reminded her softly, "Call the police.""Oh—okay! But you…"Winnie took out her phone, hesitating as she glanced at Noah."I'm fine," Noah said.Only then did Winnie nod and dial the police.Veronica suddenly seemed drained of all strength, her body going limp. Then, abruptly, she threw her head back and let out a deranged laugh."You people… all of you… just like Khloe—you all deserve to die! Every one of you!"Noah frowned. He pressed down slightly with his foot, and Veronica immediately let out a piercing scream.Winnie hurriedly stopped him. "Don't act rashly. It's not worth it."Noah gave Veronica a cold glance before easing his pressure and stepping back.Then he crouched down, grabbed Veronica by the arm, and twisted her hands behind her back. With practiced efficiency, he bound her
Within seconds, Ethan suddenly stood up."Lock down the entire building. Sync with the security room—find the person immediately!""What happened?" Charlotte tensed up at once, alarmed by Ethan's sudden change in demeanor.In the parking garage, Winnie walked inward with a box of desserts in hand.Noah had always been elusive—when he waited for Charlotte, he usually hid in some corner.Not seeing him at first glance, Winnie called his name.But at that moment, hurried footsteps echoed from behind her.Someone was approaching rapidly.Winnie turned around—only to see a woman in black, holding a sharp blade.The glint of the knife struck straight for her throat.Winnie's face changed instantly. She raised her hand to block, and the dessert box was knocked to the ground in the violent motion."Who are you?!"She cried out—but the next second, she was tackled to the ground.The woman drove the blade down with lethal intent. Winnie fought desperately, twisting her body to evade
Khloe had recently returned to the country. She had informed Ethan in advance. The people from Lacuna were still watching from the shadows, and she suspected there might still be operatives in Goldmont City.Although they likely wouldn't dare to act openly within the country, the Morrison Group was vast—any small move could cause significant disruption. Moreover, Winnie had just secured a major patent recently, making this a highly sensitive period.…The person who was called finally stopped, though she did not look particularly willing.Only after the front desk called out several more times did she finally turn back and complete the registration.While filling in her information, the receptionist followed procedure and asked, "What are you here for?""Interview," the woman replied in a low voice."Interview… then why are you dressed like that?" the receptionist couldn't help asking again.Only when she leaned in slightly did she realize the visitor was actually a woman. A
However, none of that mattered to Nick. All he wanted was for Khloe and their baby to be safe.Khloe responded softly, "When I got there, they were already gone… I was still a step too late."She didn't dare meet his eyes. Because she was lying.The room was quiet. After a moment, the sound of his breathing deepened, as though he had seen through her completely—but he still said nothing."Khloe, I only want you to be well. Nothing else matters. I don't expect anything more, and I don't want you doing anything reckless."His voice was like a blade, piercing straight through her defenses, each word precise and unavoidable.Khloe gritted her teeth. "I'm telling the truth.""Then why did you find a lead and not tell me?""I only thought of it at night. I was anxious…""You could've sent someone. But you went alone."She was rendered speechless.He knew clearly—she was still hiding something. He didn't want to press her, but his worry only deepened. The more she tried to conceal
Fortunately, the emergency treatment was timely, and Nick's condition stabilized quickly. There was no serious danger. However, the acute fever triggered by the episode persisted until the next morning before finally subsiding.Even though a caregiver was present, Khloe stayed by his bedside the entire night, holding tightly onto his burning-hot hand.Seeing Nick like this filled Khloe with both heartbreak and guilt. Yet once she forced herself to calm down, her mind inevitably returned to what Trey had said.'If it's true love, then it's not about possession—it's about letting go. You reduced my feelings to nothing, so now, I want to see just how far you're willing to go for yours.'Nick's body was already stretched to its limit. At this point… he might not even have half a year left.T7 was a prohibited drug. Everything about it had to remain confidential. She could not escalate this matter publicly—doing so would mean she would never obtain the medicine either. And Trey knew th
It was… Trey!Khloe's pupils contracted sharply. Although she had already sensed something ominous before coming, actually seeing Trey still shocked her."Long time no see, Khloe."Trey looked at Khloe on the screen, his gaze flickering—dim, unstable, almost glistening with tears. A faint smile curled his lips, yet he was nothing like the man he once was.Even at his worst before, Trey had still retained at least a trace of humanity. Now, however, he was drenched in a sinister aura, his entire presence cold enough to make one's skin crawl."Trey? It really is you?"Khloe gritted her teeth.Her eyes were already red."Yes, it's me." His voice softened. "I didn't expect you to find the clue I left so quickly. You're still just as smart as before… and still remember everything between us so clearly."His tone grew gentler, even carrying a hint of nostalgia and emotion at the end.But it only made Khloe feel sick."So the one behind Olympus… is you?"In an instant, everything s
These past few days, Henry hadn't been idle. He had people check on Nick's hospital—though the staff guarded his condition like a fortress, this was, after all, Henry's domain.Khloe's heart was loyal and deep; with Nick sick, her focus would naturally shift entirely to him. She was in the prime of
Perhaps Charlotte wasn't the one being bullied in the situation with Ethan, contrary to what others might have assumed.The dress Charlotte had chosen was stunning. Winnie had wanted to get a makeover alongside her, but time was running short. Charlotte only needed to look presentable to snag a fre
A sly smile curved Winnie's lips. "Yeah, the Olson family really hasn't treated me well. I've never even worn a custom-made gown for myself. This dress Michael gave me… it's really beautiful. Don't you think so?"Winnie's voice rang out clearly and steadily.Rarely so calm, she didn't rush to clas
Khloe's gaze fell on the inky night beyond the window. "I agreed.""Good." Nick didn't ask why. He simply said, "As long as it's something you truly want to do, I support you. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait."Khloe felt a rush of warmth in her chest, and tears welled up in her eyes. Yet he
